  1. RAISING METALINGUISTIC AWARENESS of HLLs2010 NHLRC Research Institute SAEED ATOOFI, MARYELLEN GARCIA, SUMINO HIRANO, CLÉMENCE JOUËT-PASTRÉ, SHUSHAN KARAPETIAN, ANNA KUDYMA, ALLA SMYSLOVA, ANGELA PINILLA-HERRERA

  2. Structural Challenges Heritage Language Learners Face • Syntactic and morphologic features vulnerable to attrition – word order, agreement, verb aspect, etc. (Yip and Mathews, Monereau, Benmamoun, O’Grady, Polinsky, Mikhaylova, Dubinina, Montrul )

  3. Causes for Deviation from Baseline • Insufficient input (in quality and quantity) leads to incomplete acquisition and/or attrition (Laleko, Potowski) • Lack of formal schooling in HL • Sociolinguistic factors (Benmamoun, Kondo-Brown)

  4. Considerations • Assessment - Student Proficiency in HL (O’Grady, Brown et al.) • Reinforcement of HLLs Skills • Motivation – Determine Students’ Goals and Interests (Arboleta, Chang, Kagan)

  5. Strategies • Provide rich and diverse input (Arboleta, Chang) • Differentiated instruction • Teach grammar in context attending to forms most vulnerable to attrition • Inductive approach • Contrastive analysis • Modeling • Recycling • Community based learning • Create link between classroom instruction and outside activities

  6. Sample Activities • Create a wall of words and have students categorize them into grammatical classes • Show a you tube weather forecast in the TL; students identify the future tense markers • Role play involving a job interview (questions words, conditional forms, reporting) • Comment on peers’ written output in a round-robin style • Debates which trigger a specific grammatical form (subjunctive)
